Surigao Del Norte First hand tips while on the island: •At the airport, pick up ur checked-in luggage before lining up in the document check. Guides may say you can get the documents checked first, but the thing is it will be a hassle to go back. •Airport to/from Gen Luna is 30-40mins, and best option is van even for a small extra cost vs tricycle. •Bring 20php or coins as tricycle charge (main mode of transport) is 20php per way on most destinations. There have been several times that drivers claimed they didn’t have change. •Make sure you have the exact address of your destination or even a screenshot of the route as some tricycle drivers, unfortunately, were not always sure. •Wifi isn’t as good throughout the island, even in some properties that said they have 30-35mbps. However, Lamari (hotel & restaurant) and Lunares (cafe) have the best internet service in the daytime. •Make sure to book hotels/resorts along General Luna as those off-road may be cheaper but transportation will be difficult especially at night, some not even DOT accredited. •My view: Best resort w/amenities is Siargao Bleu (500php consumable day tour with pool usage); Most affordable but delicious food is in Kurvada; Chill restaurant with a bar (Nook Bar) is Habhab and usually open ‘til late at night. •Cheap/reasonable souvenirs, esp quality shirts, can be found on the side of the bridge in Maasin river. •At Mampupungko rock pools, always wear slippers as there are sea urchins hiding underneath the stone during low tide. •At Sugba lagoon, they charge 500php for kayak+snorkeling or paddle board+snorkeling, but try haggling as I got mine for 500php for paddle board+kayak. •No food/store at the airport so on your way, make sure u bring food or eat before taking the transportation. #skiadventure #staycation #themepark #beachlife
